How to calculate the volume of solids


Volume is the space occupied by a given object. The volume is measured in cubic units. For example, we can say that a cube is 64 cubic cm. The basic unit of volume is the cubic meter. There is equivalence between the volume of an object and its capacity. The simplest method used to equate volume capacity is 1 cubic decimeter = 1 liter. 


To calculate the volume of an object, you must use three dimensions: length, width and height. To help you study maths, here you can know the formulas for calculating the volume of various geometric solids. Just click in the following links:

How to find the volume of a cone

The volume of a cone is equal to the space that cone occupies. To help you study maths, here you'll learn how to find the volume of a cone.

How to find the volume of a cone


The volume of a cone its equal to one third of the volume of the cylinder. So, you just multiply the volume of a cylinder by a third. To find the volume of a cone, you have to know the radius of the base (circle) and the height of the cone. The volume of a cone is the one-third of the product of the area of the base with the height of the cone.

Do not forget that: 

- The most used rounded value of Pi is 3.14 
- Diameter = 2 x radius
